Encourage your children to join an after-school activity, like sports or a club. They encourage children to be social and make friends. These skills are desperately needed throughout life, and developing them when they are young is best. If your child is busy participating in after-school activities they will be less likely to engage in negative activities.
Parenting in modern times is often challenging, but now you are in a much better position to parent well. The information in this article can be your foundation in building a wonderful relationship with your greatest gift. You have the tools now to be successful during this wonderful, exciting time in the journey of your life.
Be sure that you are constantly aware of what is occurring in your child's environment. The teachers will be pleased to provide you with information and to work co-cooperatively with your efforts. Take advantage of it and keep yourself in the know.
Here is some advice for the parents of toddlers. If your toddlers are acting up and trying to center every single thing on them, it is important to teach them that they need to wait their turn. If they do not wish to follow directions, you need to discipline them in some way, such as putting them in time-out. Going from one activity to another can be difficult for very small children. Abruptly switching activities can lead to melt downs for young kids who need time to transition between tasks. If your child likes to take their pajamas and diapers off while they are in their crib or unattended, try this neat little trick. Cut the feet off of an old pair of footsie pajamas and put them on your child backwards. It will make it so they cannot unzip them and take them off. Maintain a spousal relationship that is strong, loving, positive and respectful. What your child experiences from your relationship can be the guiding factor in the relationships your child will develop later in life. Your child will have better people skills if he or she can observe you. You will feel tremendous pride in the type of man that he will become.
An essential practice of good parenting is praising children when they behave well. Kids need attention. If they cannot get it by acting well, they will try to get it by acting badly. Parents who do not give their children attention when they behave well are tempting fate and encouraging their children to act out in negative ways.
Child rearing for toddlers! While it can be very difficult to teach toddlers to be patient, it is important for their healthy development to learn that they are not the only people in the world. If they are being stubborn, perhaps you need to place them in "time out", or reprimand them. Parenting can be extremely frustrating, especially if you are encountering difficulties in establishing communication. In this article, we will give you helpful advice to make communicating with your child and enjoying it more attainable. Read to your baby or child every day. Not only is reading one of the best things you can do for your child's vocabulary and comprehension skills, but it is a wonderful way to wrap up his or her day and gives them a routine to look forward to. Fostering a love of reading also means your children have no excuses for boredom so long as they have library cards. As easy as it might be to say "yes" every time a young child asks for things, resist falling into that habit. It is okay to give in sometimes, but make sure it is on your terms. The last thing you need is a child who thinks that they are in control or that can control you using their emotions.
Need a break from parenting but can't afford a babysitter? Give a play date a try. A well set up play date will give your child some extra socialization and stimulation. In addition, you'll get to enjoy some adult time with the other parents who are present.
Hopefully these tips give you some ideas about parenting. It should give you a small foundation to think about and to build upon. Remember that parenthood is different from one family to another. Understand that there is not a single, correct way to do things. Among these tips, take to heart the ones that sound useful, and give them a try. Children grow up fast, so take advantage of the exciting times you and your child will spend together. You will need to set aside some time for the family if you want to keep the family dynamic strong. You won't necessarily have to break out the board games and sing songs together. You can watch a movie or just talk instead. Even an amusement park is okay for family time. What's important is that you're spending time together.

Ferrari say that Felipe Massas recovery is continuing to go very well after team principal Stefano Domenicali visited the Brazilian driver at his Sao Paulo home on Sunday.
Massa sustained fractures to his skull after his helmet was struck by a loose component from another car during qualifying for the last round of the championship in Hungary, just over three weeks ago.
"Felipe is in excellent form and his recovery is going very well! Domenicali told Ferraris official website, after meeting with his injured driver. "Im very happy about Felipes state.
After undergoing emergency surgery, Massa spent just over a week in a Budapest hospital, the first few days of which he was kept in an artificially-induced coma. He was then flown back to Brazil where he underwent further tests before being discharged to recuperate at home.
"The medical checks which have been carried out over the last two weeks continue to be very encouraging, added Domenicali. Now its important to be patient and take one step at a time, without any hurry.
No date has been set for Massas return to competition and his place at this weekends European Grand Prix will be taken by Ferrari test driver Luca Badoer.

This is my first time posting here, but I have been a lurker for many months. I am hoping that someone can tell me how to cut a teacup in half. What type of tile saw do you use? I can't find any information on the internet on how to do this. Please help!! |

I use a diamond wheel on my dremel and cut very carefully,gotta watch those fingers!!! |
That's not the way to share a cup of tea with yoour friend. LOL. Look into buying a wet saw like this, you can have so much more fun doing many other things. Can cut a tea cup in hald in no time. Tiles, glass bottles, stone, rocks ----- http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=3733 dcarch |
Well dcarch, ya just had to tell me about that didn't ya??? Cause it forced me to go and buy the dern thing. Oh well, I needed to get one anyway. Marry Christmas to me. Thanks though. Donna in Florida |
I do mosaics and have cut cups in half for my wall art but I just use my wheeled glass nippers. I need to get myself a wet saw tho as they cut them in half perfectly and you can use both sides that way. The way I cut them you can only use one side most of the time, occasionally you get lucky and can use both sides but very rarely. |
BTW, gon't get scared off by a diamond wet saw. It is very a very safe tool to use. Less dangerous than a kitchen knife. You will not get seriously hurt by it unless you insist on sitting on it while it is going. dcarch |

Missed my chance the other day when my son was cutting tile for our new floor. Watched them push the tile through the blade, but that is flat. How do you push the teacup through without losing fingers? Can someone post a picture or a link to one on the procedure perhaps as you are doing it? We'd love you!!!! Thanks! Please send to me @ firstname.lastname@example.com. |
- Posted by luna_llena_feliz (My Page) on Tue, Mar 22, 11 at 23:30
milliesgirl, I haven't used a wet saw yet but I would use a push stick to push the cups, etc. through. You would use one for wood, why not glass/ceramic? |
It will not be easy to cut a tea cup and get two good halves. The last cut will most likely crack some of the cup. This method may do it if you have a wet diamond saw: Melt wax to fill the cup all the way. After the wax is set, you can start cutting. The wax will hold the two halves in place without cracking the cup. After the cup is cut, you can melt away and reuse the wax. dcarch |
- Posted by milliesgirl (My Page) on Sat, Apr 30, 11 at 12:49
Thanks for all your help. Dcarch, that idea is splendid. It may help me with cutting some other things that need some stabilization too!And the wax would probably help the blade, huh? |
You are welcome. That is the standard way of cutting small rocks, precious stones, etc. A lapidary supply store will have the kind of wax for small stones. dcarch |

Pop-up Customization and reading value..Help plz
I donnow much javascript and pop-up with out javascript does not exist ..so i jus wanted to explain the scenario..Don't think otherwise plz.
A pop-up box which we can customize like the background color , width ,text color etc and Inside the pop-up box i like to have a textbox and when user enters a value inside the textbox ,if the textbox value is not correct , a new pop-up should appear with three textboxes ( retry, cancel,start again) of course if user clicks retry agian the first pop should appear asking him to enter the value ( as said above ).
This is not possible with the simple alert(), confirm(), or any other of those pop ups, it will require a DHTML pop up witch you can find here. You'd then have to find out how to make some of your own functions that will have a password script, of course its not really a password its just a text field acting like a password script. SO... It would be simple, because all you would need to do is use if() statements.
I hope this helps,

National Semiconductor and Quellan Form Alliance to Design and Market 10 Gbps Interconnect Devices; New Family of Equalizers Addresses Need for High Speed, Low-Power Solutions That Open the Interconnect Bottleneck.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. and ATLANTA -- SANTA CLARA, Calif. and ATLANTA, April 28 /PRNewswire/ -- National Semiconductor Corporation , the premier analog company driving the information age, and Quellan Incorporated, a privately held signal processing company, today announced a strategic alliance to deliver 10-Gigabit per second (Gbps) interconnect solutions. With target applications in the server, networking and storage markets, these next generation integrated circuits are designed to open the interconnect bottleneck by providing more bandwidth and longer distance benefits while using less power than existing solutions. In addition to working with Quellan, National has invested in the privately held start-up company to speed development and delivery of advanced interconnect devices to National's worldwide customer base.(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20020705/NSCLOGO )
This alliance leverages the intellectual property of both companies. National provides analog, mixed-signal, manufacturing and marketing expertise, while Quellan offers world-class expertise in collaborative signal processing, which combines adaptive equalization, advanced modulation and noise cancellation.
"Quellan's technology achieves the greatest interconnect reach per watt at speeds of 10 Gbps and beyond," said Michael Noonen, vice president of National's Wired Communications Group. "Unlike other solutions on the market, this addresses multiple interconnect needs: chip-to-chip, blade-to-blade and box-to-box. The combination of Quellan's innovations and National Semiconductor's analog IC design capability will allow us to create products that dramatically increase communication bandwidth and distance with less power consumption."
Marketed under National's name, products from the partnership will include several families of devices, including equalizers, transceivers and noise cancellers. They will be optimized for interconnections in systems such as enterprise applications and communications infrastructure equipment, and provide data rates that are 10 times faster than existing technologies. The equalizers compensate for electrical signal loss in bandwidth limited signaling channels. Target applications are backplane and cables with data transfer rates from 3.125 to 6.25 Gbps, and coax cable applications for HDTV studio production equipment. The first product will sample in the third quarter of 2003.
"With the relentless increases in network density and bandwidth, getting interconnects to run at 5 and 10 Gbps is becoming a mandatory requirement for equipment manufacturers," said Tony Stelliga, chairman and CEO of Quellan. "While this is a substantial challenge, it provides Quellan and National Semiconductor with an exciting opportunity. The modulation, equalization and cancellation techniques used in our collaborative signal processing devices will provide a winning solution when coupled with National's advanced CMOS process and worldwide channels."
About Quellan
Quellan, based in Atlanta, GA., designs and develops integrated circuits for high-speed communications equipment. Quellan's solutions increase bandwidth, lower costs, and reduces time-to-market for its clients by utilizing a combination of signal processing expertise and high frequency analog, digital and mixed signal design experience in its integrated circuit product development. Quellan's core technology comes from advanced mixed signal research at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Initial funding for Quellan Incorporated came from Cordova Intellimedia Ventures, L.P., Greenspring Ventures, LLC, ITU Ventures, LLC., The University Financing Foundation, Inc., Steve Chaddick, and the Yamacraw Seed Capital Fund III LLC. Quellan Incorporated is a leading-edge communications technology chipmaker. Additional information about Quellan Incorporated is available at http://www.quellan.com/ .

I have met many good players and made many friends thanks to our shared passion in SF4. Please release SSF4 on arcade. Honestly i spend over $500 a year at the arcade so it would be worth it :)

5 years ago Comments: MUST HAVE ARCADE RELEASE. the only way to keep the arcade going is to... keep making the arcades. Hardcore fans like myself frequent the arcades as well as play at home cause nothing beats live competition amongst peers.

A federal mediator has been called in to try to break a strike deadlock which has crippled a key US trade hub for the last week. The strike by clerical workers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which handle more than 40 percent of ocean-shipped US imports from Asia, is costing billions to the local and wider US economy. The White House said it was monitoring the standoff closely, and LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa announced the two sides had agreed to federal mediation, after he spent the night in negotiations himself.

Looks like the people at the NCC are upset over my piece critiquing them.
Town Hall just published my latest review of Theodore Dalrymple's "Our Culture, What's Left of It: The Mandarins and the Masses"
Here's something you don't read everyday.
Felt 'warm embrace' as he survived spiraling plunge to Earth
A first-time skydiver who survived a 3,500-foot plunge to Earth after his parachute failed to open properly says he experienced extraordinary comfort as he prayed on the way down.
Daniel Levi Cave, speaking from his hospital room in Seattle yesterday, told the "Today" show's Matt Lauer he made a last-minute plea to God.
"I said, 'OK, well, I trust you, I believe in you, and if there's any way, I'd love to see my family again, so help me out here.'
[Read more…]
painting a school for migrant workers in Imokalee, a town about fifty miles east of Naples in the heart of the agricultural district in S. Florida. It's the area that grows many of the vegetables you eat in winter.
What I learned about the migrant worker situation was that many migrant workers are in the US not because their poverty at home (Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, etc.) is so desperate that stoop labor in US fields is the only way they can live. Rather, the pay they receive is so high compared to their native countries that working for four or five years alllows them to return home and set up businesses. They manage to send home about $250/week to countries where the average yearly wage is $800. After their work in America ends, they take the money to move from poverty into the middle class.
I asked the man in charge of the school and housing for migrant workers if that meant the population changes every four years. He said yes. I was always under the impression that hopelessness and despair drove them northward and they never returned. The poverty does drive them, but they return relatively wealthy. After four or five years of work they go back and don't return.
The migrants have no insurance (they are counted in the uninsured census we hear about all of the time), but they have access to free medical care in a clinic (a small hospital actually) they can use any time. They stay in homes (some appallingly run down but others adequate for a family) that costs about $250/month. (The organization running this school and housing association has the food growers comprising over 50% of their board of directors. Clearly many of the growers are not the hard-hearted and greedy charlatans they often are portrayed to be.)
Migrant children are allowed free education in US schools, but because the migrant population is so transitory (they move to wherever the work is because they want to earn as much as they can as quickly as possible), their children don't learn as well as they would if they remained in one place. In recent years, more families stay home while the husband comes up alone to work. (His rent averages $120/month.)
What I learned is that the migrant situation replicates the experience of almost every other immigrant group in America. They come to America because of the opportunity this nation provides for a better life.
There are others points worth pondering as well. For example, despite the tremendous physical hardship the migrant workers endure, many migrant families manage to stay intact. There is usually a Catholic church near the migrant camps that serves the families. It's a stark contrast to American poverty which is more a function of family breakdown rather than a scarcity of goods and services.
Also, there is something honorable in their work that we can admire.
Anyway, we got the school all painted.
Town Hall just published my review of Michael Reagan's book that I wrote last November.
Last week Orthodoxy Today reached its million visitor mark.
I'm reading George Weigel's The Cube and the Cathedral: Europe, America, and Politics Without God and want to recommend it to anyone trying to understand more deeply the religious underpinnings of culture.
Weigel posits WWI as the point where the cataclysmic dislocation from a Christian to secular atheist of European society occurred. Of course the ideas of secular atheism have antecedents in earlier epochs, but they emerged as part of Christian culture because of the great dislocation. Only when WWI ended with the fall of the Berlin Wall, has it become clear how radical the secularist atheism really is.
I'm only about a third of the way through it but there are quite a few gems in the book. (Missourian, you would like the facts on the decline of European culture; one example: Sweden has a poverty class greater than the US.) One is this: the social structures of secular atheism always work towards the destruction of people. So true when you think of it: abortion, euthanasia, etc. It's what we call the "culture of death."
The "Cube" of the title (La Grande Arche de la Defense) serves as counterpoint to the "Cathedral" (Notre Dame) which reflect de-Christianized Europe against a formerly Christian Europe.
Take a loot at the book the next time you are at B&N. (Better yet, order it through the link above and send a couple of quarters my way to help pay for this site.) Many OT readers will like it.

From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany
The mystery of the Incarnation is expressed this evening in the coming of the Word of God as a little child. Keep Christmas as the Church prescribes it — a celebration from Nativity to Theophany — to penetrate this deep mystery and appropriate it to the measure that God allows. Christ is Born! Glorify Him! God bless all of you. Fr. Hans Jacobse.

Town Hall just published my review of Edwin Black's "War Against the Weak: Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race."
I haven't been able to contribute much lately because I've been swamped with work. My parish is growing. We average about 350 people on Sunday and "season" (when the people from the north come down for winter) just started so there will be more. I designing a new webpage for the parish that should be ready for prime time in abut two or three weeks. I just managed to update the main page after a six-day delay. If got my hands full right now, but it should taper off soon. I tune into the discussions though.
One thought. Are the feminists flummoxed by the conviction of Scott Peterson for the murder of his unborn child? Note how silent they are? No doubt the guilty verdict is another example of the "erosion of abortion rights."

For those of you who might have missed it, I posted two book reviews on the main page.
The first is one I wrote on "War Against the Weak" about the eugenics movement at the beginning of the last century that ultimately contributed to Hitler's Final Solution.
The second is written by Chris Banescu, webmaster of OrthodoxNet.com, on the book "Intellectual Morons" which examines why some intellectuals fall for stupid (really stupid) and sometimes destructive ideas.

[show]Wondering... Edit
Don't want to sound rude or one-sided with this comment but.. umm... if you somehow blocked Sajuuk over his controversial comment, then who would be the forum operator? :/

Sai Edit
Can you please tell me sais rank in the last naruto the movie? Wongo2 (talk) 14:12, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you, should there be an article for that ninja rank? but I guess we know too few about it right?Wongo2 (talk) 15:54, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
Yahiko and the Second Shinobi World War Edit
At what age did Yahiko died? His article says 15, is that trustworthy? Also is it correct that Konan and Nagato died at the age of 35, after 16 years of the nine tails attack?
I'm conducting an investigation on the Second Shinobi World War, Ame Orphans and Sannins
I want to understand what are the main points are the fans arguing about. On Yahiko's talk page people are using Choji's estimate of 25 years, which is completely misleading.
ZabuzaTheDemon (talk) 02:36, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
Why is Choji's word more valuable than the Databook?
It is clear to me a human can make mistakes, and I believe Kishi fixed it, I find it very interesting, that Yahiko died at the age of 15 which makes sense now after this debacle?
Are Yahiko, Nagato and Konan the same age?
Also is Minato's age trustworthy?
Are all the ages put in the infobox of Naruto characters straight from Kishimoto's databook? They are extremely detailed.
ZabuzaTheDemon (talk) 20:53, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
Paper = Yang? Edit
Okay, so apparently, Konan's paper techs are Yang release. Is that true? (Sorry to bother you yet again, it's understandable that you must have a lot to deal with...)
~•WS7125[Mod] 19:56, December 24, 2014 (UTC)
- Apparently, Konan has Yang... Rachin123 made a consensus in the chat. He's made the edits and all...
~•WS7125[Mod] 20:12, December 24, 2014 (UTC)- Really? So Paper is Yang and you agree (or you don't care)? Okay then. Though, I suggest you voice your opinion on this thread about techniques being Yin and Yang Release.
~•WS7125[Mod] 20:18, December 24, 2014 (UTC)- Heh. Just making sure. You did say "Do whatever you want." But okay then, I trust your word. So I take it Konan's ability is just her infusing chakra in paper.
~•WS7125[Mod] 20:24, December 24, 2014 (UTC)- Also, Tau, I want you to be aware of this: user Truthseeker149 went around adding Yang Release to all Medical Ninjutsu. We told her to stop on her talk page, and she might do so again. She said that you stated all Medical Ninjutsu is Yang in some forums. Please clarify things with her if she does so again.
~•WS7125[Mod] 21:07, December 24, 2014 (UTC)- *Sigh* Magnet Release has brought nothing but trouble. Honestly though, where was Magnet confirmed to be an advanced nature again? I was told Blaze was never stated to be advanced, but what about Magnet?
~•WS7125[Mod] 21:48, December 24, 2014 (UTC)- No such thing as "advanced natures?" Okay. So Blaze was never called a nature transformation like Magnet was? But isn't Blaze Release also a kkg?

Hallo, könnten wir uns bitte kurz im chat treffen? Es geht um eine andere Person auf diesem Wiki. Wongo2 (talk) 14:21, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
Re: Pyramid quoting Edit
Technically, we're supposed to hit a user with this {{ForumWarn}} (scroll down) on their talkpage to "remind" them about PQ'ing or any other offense. But I feel that templates are... "flashy," and look to be more of a warning than a reminder, making it a bit uninviting, so I choose to tell them nicely in the forums first, then "warn" them on their talkpage. :P
~•WS7125[Mod] 18:47, December 27, 2014 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I'll make sure it doesn't go off-topic. ;) And besides, when I edit a comment due to PQ'ing or anything else, I'd rather have them see the reason why I did so directly next to their comments I just edited, rather then tell them away from the forums. But it's not like you don't know what you're talking about, so I'll consider your idea. :)
~•WS7125[Mod] 19:02, December 27, 2014 (UTC)- Actually... giving it some more thought... might be better to leave that in the forums. Here's why: When I put that reminder in the forums, it's visible to everyone and is more public, so not only will the user that I'm reminding take preventative measures, but everyone else viewing the forums will do so as well, rather than take it to someone's talkpage and taking it into smaller public view (I know that technically, people can still see it on a user's talkpage, but they're more likely to go in the forums than one random user's talkpage).And besides, it's just one message. Doesn't really make the thread "longer" so to speak, because everyone can see that one message and all... I usually close threads after 350 messages, so one can't hurt. ;)

Databook names Edit

~•WS7125[Mod] 02:03, December 29, 2014 (UTC)
Seven Swordsmen Edit
I find the Seven Swordsmen to be NOT user-friendly, when I first noticed the page I hated the fact I had to find out everything myself, since Kishis made 3 categories: 1)Previous, 2)Latest/Strongest, 3) Other members: Chujuro and Kisame. I was wondering if you think it is a good idea to create a table below the article where you can put the members in that way you can GET THE FULL PICTURE on which members are which and the swords they used. It is not a huge table since it will only be three categories. This in turn will classify which users are part which group and which sword they created thus becoming user-friendly and eye-catching.

Susanoo Edit
Quick question: Is this correct? Yes or no?
~•WS7125[Mod] 03:01, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
Serious question Edit
It seems DB3 and DB4 have retconned the Data book Mini and are not even accounting it at all. So should we even be using the DBMini's ages and info on this wiki and on the timelines anymore?? ItachiWasAHero (talk) 17:50, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
Idk.. maybe the ages from DBMini should be moved to the Trivia section?? and the other things you spoke of should be mentioned in the Trivia sections?? ItachiWasAHero (talk) 18:00, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
DB3 and DB4 each say 2.5yrs and they have no mention of the DBMini ages at all. DB3 covers the entire first half of Shippuden including the beginning and there is still NO mention of DBMini ages. It is also larger and later, so now that I think about it DBMini looks to be retconned but I can't really think straight about that.. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 18:07, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
So with the DBMini, even Shino is still 15 at his introduction in part 2. Without DBMini, only Shikamaru, Ino, Naruto and Hinata are 15 at introduction. My question is this, would you still consider the DBMini viable and usable in the wiki and in the timelines?? I personally am starting to think the DBMini has been basically ignored and retconned since studio pierrot and Kishi himself always called Naruto being 16 and not ever 15. But the only thing it really changes is the starting point of part 2, instead of being 10/10/15 at the earliest it becomes 4-7/31/16 at the earliest.. it isn't like it changes anything if we disregard it anyway.. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 18:18, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
Edit war Edit
The standard genjutsu casted by the Sharingan evolves something called eye contact which cant be proven in the case of Shisui vs Ao's group. And there isn't a set definition for an edit war but protecting a page because of 1 edit i made after JOA doesn't justify it. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 15:19, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
- I have to agree with Sarutobii2 here. Protecting a page just to keep your edit in place is tool abuse. I will contact a sysop to remove the page protection you wrongly applied, especially as the reason given is bullshit and invalid. You should try reading this. --Sajuuk [Moderator] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 16:21, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
- I didn't protect the page to keep my edit in place, you should know me better than that. I removed it, though. Also, stop speaking to me like that. • Seelentau 愛 議 17:08, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
It was most definitely Shisui who casted it and if you think otherwise then you shouldn't even be allowed on this wiki, we just can't verify if he used Mangekyo or normal Sharingan to do it. Also don't talk to Seelentau like he's some kind of normal user/noob. He knows what's what. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 18:18, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
- Please take it up on the article's talk page rather than here on Seel's talkpage. But my point was it was either normal genjutsu or long range genjutsu sharingan. And saying its genjutsu sharingan because he had his sharingan activated isn't proof, as Shisui has his sharingan activated all the time, even in casual conversations with the 3rd. --Sarutobii2 (talk) 18:51, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

Tailed Beast Powers Edit
I remember reading somewhere on the wiki that Kishimoto said the jinchuriki retain the powers bestowed on them by their tailed beast should they hypothetically survive extraction, using Gaara's sand manipulation as an example. Do you happen to have a verification and/or citation for this? Arawn 999 (talk) 13:00, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
- So other than that vague statement that doesn't reveal anything, there's no explanation as to why Gaara can still manipulate sand other than "It was his Mom all along"? Arawn 999 (talk) 13:36, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
Timeline Error Edit
Yo Seel, spotted an error in your timeline. You got at 20 bNB that Jiraiya meets the Ame Orphans and begins to train them. but down at 18 bNB, you've got Konan is born. You probably meant someone else and it's just a typo, but after seeing that douche give you crap over the timeline, figure you should have a chance to fix it before he ctually reads it and has another go at you. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 06:30, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
Also might want to update Fukai's name to Blue B, wasn't that his canon name? --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 06:31, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the link, are you open to suggested events? I had my own rough timeline a while back, it's rubbish compared to yours, but with the dates you could frame a few events in the years following Naruto's birth. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 15:04, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
Wouldn't dream of editing your timeline myself, just wanted to know if you're open to suggestions if I find any events missing or can narrow down the date on one. Since the Jin timeline is pretty sparse and I'm sure you'll be transferring a load of events over from the old one, I'll leave it for now until I have a better idea. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 15:26, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
Explosion Release natures Edit
Would you happen to know where in the manga these elements were suggested to make this combined nature? -- WindStar7125 (talk | contribs) 18:21, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Oh okay, that is understandable. I also went ahead and added Explosion Release to the Nature Transformation Diagram. Now we are down to Lightning + Fire and Lightning + Wind.

- Thanks, but WindStar told me that there was a source in the manga hinting at Explosion being made of Lightning. If there isn't, I'm going to put a "short" explaination in the ref for lightning on Explosion Release's page. And, not to sound rude, but you aren't too experienced with templates, hm?(Yep, copied that "hm?" from you =P)--JOA2019:51, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Done for the basic natures in the Form:Kekkei Genkai. Couldn't agree more on the complexity of this wikia's syntax, jeez.--JOA2019:59, January 16, 2015 (UTC)
- The "source" I am referring to is the chapter where Sasuke's Lightning diffused Deidara's clay. When did that event happen, and in what chapter and on what page?

Interview Translation? Edit
Hello Seel- how are you? Anyways, I found a video of Kishi's interview with Kobayashi, and during the interview, they showed a big spread of what looks like how Kishimoto broke down the story by each volume. The reason I post this is because it also has information about Volume 72. I know there is a lot of confusion about if the contents of Volume 72 should be included in the Kaguya Otsutsuki Strikes Arc, and so I wonder if this may provide an answer. Here is the link to the video: [1]. Go to the 9:13 mark to see the layout chart. Thanks! :D--KirinNOTKarin98 (talk) 16:22, January 17, 2015 (UTC)
- Shame it couldn't have been more useful... thanks anyways! :D--KirinNOTKarin98 (talk) 22:28, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
Re: Kegon's NameEdit
Hmm... I don't mind doing it, but I'm back in collage and just finished my first week (So tired...T _ T), and I already have homework to worry about over this weekend. It may take a while, considering I don't what exactly we're supposed to be looking for. The Anime Profiles provide a lot of information about the characters, designs, and it recaps the arcs.--NinjaSheik 19:35, January 17, 2015 (UTC)
Naruto Sage Mode discussion Edit
GodlyHades1 (talk) 00:53, January 18, 2015 (UTC)The sad part is, my facts from the manga/data-book prove otherwise. Nothing states that Naruto uses the combined chakra of all tailed beasts to form the Rikudou cloak. Nothing. If something of that importane was needed, don't you think Kishimoto would have stated this somwewhere?
I would just like a correct edit on the wiki to say just "Hagoromo's" chakra.
Since we can't prove he uses all 9 tailed beast to form it, but we can prove MORE points on why he doesn't. Not to mention it looks more on the side of KyuubiChakraMode.
So the best case scenerio would be Kyuubi chakra + Sage powerup. But even that is an assumption U_U
Is there... Edit
... really any reason why you are waving your sysop flag around as though it is a status symbol that entitles you to do whatever you want? I am referring to this edit. Please note that a wiki is a community effort, sysops don't get to make unilateral decisions just before they're sysops: they are not editor tools, please stop using them as though they are. I'm not really in the mood for reminding users multiple times about how to use their flags properly, so don't make me complain to Dantman about it. --Sajuuk [Moderator] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 17:48, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
There's an explanation right in that sentence as to why I do that.
- Not a valid reason.
Furthermore, please don't write to me again. Ever. I don't want to put up with your "problems", so if you ever got one, pelase refer to another sysop or go to Dantman. There's no common ground for us to ever talk to another.
- Read Talkpage policy. You may not put up notices, nor tell users, not to message you on a talkpage. So I will be disregarding this request in full, per policy.
Oh and you're not really in the position to remind someone who worked for seven years as a Sysop, how he has to behave. I'm very well aware of what my job is and what isn't.
- If you apparently know about being sysop, why am I having to remind you about how to behave?
- Please grow up and act mature, unless you wish to have a consensus against your rights. --Sajuuk [Moderator] Talk Page | Contribs | Channel 18:13, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

Early stuff in the Fourth Databook. Has Nagato's entry been fully translated?--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 19:03, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
- When I added it, it seemed like it was canon and real from the Databook since people were talking about it in the big thread on Narutoforums. But Nagato's entry still hasn't been fully translated...--SuperSaiyaMan (talk) 19:18, January 19, 2015 (UTC)
Scuffle in the Forum Edit
After reviewing your post and several other people's posts I have come to the conclusion that, while very forceful and very heavy handed, nothing you said was "trolling" of any sort. SuperSajuuk calling you out was not justified in that regard and while your response was justified I must say it would be wise to not respond to dickery with more dickery. I did take note that you've stated that people have been dicks to you in the past but I have no intention of hunting such posts down to verify this so to make my life easier, if someone attacks you again, please let me know when and where. Also, I would suggest under no circumstances should you engage in him directly any further. Anything you do is seen as an "abuse of sysop rights" which further keeps this feud going. Going forward, if SuperSajuuk sees fit to comment on what you have done/did do/whatever, let another sysop know so that an 3rd party can sort it out themselves to resolve. Thank you.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:28, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
- /sigh Very well. I cannot force you to not engage him, just like I can't force him to not engage you. I can only hope both of you use cooler heads. I'll either handle this or die trying.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 17:14, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
Question Edit
Can you tell me that the founder of this narutopedia? Sasuke79 (talk) 16:28, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
Explosion & Earth Edit
Now that Explosion was logically deduced to be Earth + Lightning, would that not make the "Earth Release" infobox inclusion in techniques like these redundant and therefore removable?

Please read Thread:160630. ~ Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (Local Talk ⁝ Animanga Talk) 23:46, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
I suppose Edit
That if true, it would have been added, but doesn't Jin no Sho or The Last book by any chance mention Kitsuchi and Deidara's relationship to Onoki? Is Kitsuchi Onoki's son and was Deidara blood related to him or at least his student? Thanks.--Elve [Moderator] Talk Page|Contribs 20:57, January 22, 2015 (UTC)
- That's disappointing, very so. Just outta curiosity, is this all the relevant stuff excluding the interview and road to ninja stuff? [2] thanks.--Elve [Moderator] Talk Page|Contribs 21:14, January 22, 2015 (UTC)
You and SuperSajuuk Edit
Seelentau, when dealing with SuperSajuuk you don't need to escalate things, even if you feel baited into it you don't need to get hostile and add in insults.
Staff wanted both of you to cool off and focus on moderating the other users.
I suggest treating him like you should treat a troll in a public forum, someone better ignored than fed, being antagonized into responding in a hostile manor just drags you into their pace.
When people are a problem like you believe SuperSajuuk is, generally it's better to let them find the noose on their own instead of being seen handing it to them and prodding them saying "use it, use it, I dare –".
Also for closing runaway speculative discussions, if you can, try digging up old discussions where TheUltimate3 or I closed a debate (try filtering our contributions pages to mainspace talk and looking at some of the old character article ones). We've had to close off discussions before. And I guess he sort of asked, but usually it can be done without mentioning things like being a sysop. You seem to have explaining logic/reasoning mostly down, another thing that can help is directly talking about things from the wiki's perspective, like how the wiki treats references and sources.

Kaguya advanced natures Edit
Shouldn't she listed a user anyway since the TBs can use Lava, Boil, Magnet and Madara used Storm as TT jinch too?--Elve [Moderator] Talk Page|Contribs 00:27, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
- Kekkei Mora ^_ And I guess yes, it would be kinda speculative to say Storm came from TB, as unlikely as it is for Madara to have had Storm Release as his kekkei genkai inherited from his mother lets say. Kaguya is kinda different case, the TBs chakras was originally her chakra. And Madara is a strong indication (the Storm) that TT jinch can access natures of the TBs sealed inside TT. Not to mention Kaguya ain't jinch, she is kinda the TT and TBs' chakras are hers as stated, so.--Elve [Moderator] Talk Page|Contribs 00:43, January 26, 2015 (UTC)
Did you see this? Edit
Did you know Studio Pierrot made the Konoha 12, Three of the Sound 4, and the Sand Siblings all taller from that from the filler arc with Idate Morino all the way until Naruto left with Jiraiya for his 2yrs of training?? The cast settei showing the height differences from the Idate filler and on show that Naruto is 153cm, Sasuke is 159cm, Sakura is 156.5cm, Rock Lee is 166.5cm, Shino is 166.5cm, Neji is 167cm, Tenten is 162cm, Idate is 163.5cm, Raiga is 195cm, Kankuro is 170cm, Temari is 161cm, Gaara is 154cm, Kiba is 158cm, Hinata is 152cm, Ino is 157cm, Shikamaru is 160cm Choji is 162cm, Tayuya is 154cm, Sakon is 161cm, Kidomaru is 166cm. Studio Pierrot took the liberty of making them taller from the Idate filler onto every filler afterwards.. but in the canon and official episodes between and after they are mostly their DB2 heights. I lost the other settei, but here is the two with half of them.
I posted this in thread but it seems that thread will be deleted. ItachiWasAHero (talk) 10:04, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
Re: Time Edit
Okay. I was going to go with the first one because it has a lot more content, but if the second's more accurate, I think for now it's safe to use both of them. Thanks for the advice! Gemnist (talk) 20:42, January 27, 2015 (UTC)Gemnist
- Nah. That's not my thing and it'll take time. Even worse: I'm monolingual. In the meantime, I'll just be patient. Gemnist (talk) 20:53, January 27, 2015 (UTC)Gemnist
Sasuke Sarutobi Edit
Turring from the page you are also contributing to translated Sasuke's article. Please read it. Is his translation wrong? Djfghdfe53475zdhdf (talk) 00:30, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
Re: TranslationsEdit
I am not the one who can or should tell you what to do. All I can say is that it is not "good" or "trustful" for a sysop to fight with other users, especially starting those fights, but I'm not the one to judge. And with the contributions, I'm not too sure myself. If your a natural english-speaker, or at least you're good at it, you could create the articles for the previous 2 naruto novels, which are translated on the "Naruto Forums". But saying things that you promised to do or "achieve" when you suggested yourself to be a "sysop" should not be forgotten, ok dude? And.. I thought I deleted that message... If I offended you in any way, I didn't mean it.--Omojuze (talk) 14:24, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, and if you know how, you could add in "The Last" technique/weapon articles into infoboxes, 'cause they are considered canon. I left such a message in the forums.--Omojuze (talk) 14:25, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

NEW YORK (CNN) - Hamburger chain Carl's Jr. is making no apologies for its new Spicy Burger television commercial, which features Hilton hotel heiress and reality TV star Paris Hilton in a skin-tight swimsuit soaping up a Bentley and crawling all over it before taking a big bite out of the burger.
The ad, which has been running in major markets since last week, has drawn the ire of television watchdogs, including the Parents Television Council.
"This commercial is basically soft-core porn," said Melissa Caldwell, research director for the PTC. "The way she moves, the way she puts her finger in her mouth -- it's very suggestive and very titillating."
The Los Angeles-based advocacy group plans to mobilize its more than 1 million members to contact the restaurant chain and voice their displeasure.
At this point, the PTC does not plan to petition the FCC to make Carl's Jr. remove the ad. Nor does it plan a boycott of the burger chain.
The PTC's main objection is that unlike a television program, parents have no way of knowing when the Paris Hilton Spicy Burger ad is going to appear on TV, and cannot steer their children away from it.
Since May 19, the ad has run during sports programs, on ABC's "Desperate Housewives" finale Sunday and on the season-ending episodes of Fox's "The O.C." and NBC's "The Apprentice."
Carl's Jr.'s message to the PTC: The group needs to "get a life," said Andy Puzder, CEO of Carl's Jr., a subsidiary of CKE Restaurants (Research). "This isn't Janet Jackson -- there is no nipple in this. There is no nudity, there is no sex acts -- it's a beautiful model in a swimsuit washing a car."
Puzder says he has shown the ad to his three children, ages 12, 9 and 7, and they have shown no signs of being corrupted. "Maybe people are excited because it's Paris Hilton, but there are far worse things on television that these groups should be worried about," Puzder said.
But the PTC says it has a problem with the context and the content of the ad, not the personalities involved.
Caldwell says that because the ad is airing during sports programs, and FOX's "OC", which are heavily watched by teens, it promotes sexuality to an audience that might not be ready for it. "It's difficult to gauge how children are going to react to this," Caldwell said.
Carl's Jr. features the ad on its Web site, carlsjr.com, and also built a separate Web site called SpicyParis.com to play a 60-second version of the commercial. The company says SpicyParis.com was so overwhelmed with traffic last Friday that the Web site crashed. It is now back in operation.
A similar ad with Hilton for CKE's Hardee's hamburger chain is expected to air next month. The restaurant chain would not comment on how much Hilton was paid for the one day shoot to create the Spicy Burger ad, but its executives were impressed with her demeanor. "She was very business-like," said CEO Puzder.
